Trevillyan places in Governor’s Giant Vision Awards Business Competition 

For the fifth year in a row, students from South Dakota School of Mines & Technology took home first place in the student division of the Governor’s Giant Vision Awards Business Competition. 

Mines student teams swept the first through fourth places in the student division. This year SD Mines competitors won $19,000 in prize money at the Giant Vision competition to put toward their businesses. 

 At this year’s Giant Vision, second place went to SD Mines student William Trevillyan for his business, HomeMetrics. Trevillyan, a Brandon Valley High School alumnus, won last year’s Mines CEO Business Plan Competition and the Governor’s Giant Vision. Trevillyan received $4,000 for this year’s placing at Giant Vision.  

This annual competition is held in conjunction with the annual Governor’s Office of Economic Development Conference. Each competitor presents their business idea to a panel of judges.
